OT peanuts and birds?

When should one stop feeding peanuts to small birds.
I understand it is not safe for them to try to feed their young with
peanuts.
They've been nesting for quite a while, so you shouldn't be feeding
whole peanuts now, or, if you are, you should make sure they're in a
wire feeder so birds can't get at whole ones, they can only peck out
bits.

I'm glad I read this post, this never occurred to me at all. I always
put out whole peanuts on the bird table. I will make sure in future
they can only get them from the wire feeder. Phew! Would hate to
think I was responsible for the death of any chicks.
